Delano, I always think of the poor, the homeless and the downtrodden. Being in financial journalism for 10 years solidified my belief that too many of the needy are really decent people. I am not a Socialist. And I will forever despise the idiots who were too butthurt to accept Bernie's loss for the Dem Party nomination in 2016. Because they decided to vote for third party candidates who had no chance of winning. Their stunning immaturity and betrayal is what helped elect Trump who preceded to make things ten times worse for the decent. We are stuck with the economic system that we have and it's not going to change anytime soon. And since so many Blacks are of the belief this Covid-19 vaccine is the result of racism, (meaning it's guaranteed to kill us), we're going to lose thousands of good, intelligent and hard working people from our community. We cannot change the system from without. Those who hoard the wealth control the news media and will never be shy about using unequal distribution of resources, legal discrimination or riot police to keep themselves on top. I taught for one reason: To teach Blacks, Latinos and Asians who somehow got through their young lives without properly learning how to write. I showed them through examples why is it is necessary for them to learn to write. If they join the corporate world, I cautioned my students, they may find themselves asked to respond to a customer complaint by email, a query from upper management in writing or they may want to author a memo carefully laying out why their proposal is a good one. I volunteered to write resumes and cover letters, used my photography talents to replace photos of some families who had lost all of theirs due to evictions or fire and tutored my students until they were ready to take their finals. One cannot do that if they're going to quote their boss all of the time. I believe in helping and not criticizing those who are in need. Blacks are not necessarily going to do so much better economically under Biden and Harris. But at least we won't be facing a continuous barrage of racist and unfair government policies from a president who never thought much of us.

I do not know why Biden failed to choose a civilian. But it might have something to do with trying to find a competent and acceptable civilian who is immune to criticism from Israel. While a POTUS ultimately makes the big foreign policy decisions, Israel is a constant thorn in the side of the U.S. government because of its incessant demands more aid and political cover for its assassinations and attacks against its neighbors. Picking a fight like this spells trouble for the incoming Biden administration.

This accurately describes many of the Black Conservatives and Black Trump supporters. You really made a very impressive pronouncement. I also concur with the objectives you espouse for Forums. After all this isn’t a chat room. I feel that all our spirits have been assembled here for a reason. Let’s continue to discover what that is.

This little gem arrived and am about half way through.
